VANCOUVER, British Columbia—Ms. Velazquez, a painter from Mexico now living in North Vancouver, had high praise for the Shen Yun Performing Arts show currently playing at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
“It was excellent. I have to say that I loved it. How they dance and everything,” said Ms. Velazquez, who attended Saturday night’s show.
“We were talking about the performers, like how they go in symmetric, very exact, precise coordination. We were just blown away.”
Many find the Shen Yun show, which portrays traditional Chinese culture, uplifting, and this was true for Ms. Velazquez.
“It shows you hope from being sad. It can show the best of who you are, don’t forget where you are coming from.”
Shen Yun is renowned for its Chinese classical dance, which itself comprises ethnic and folk dance, story-based dance, and aerial movements such as dives, leaps, and spins. In its early stages it was mainly passed down among the common people, through members of the imperial court, and as part of ancient theatre.
“Everything is excellent. In Mexico we say you leave with a good taste in your mouth,” said Ms. Velazquez.
After completing its seven-show run in Vancouver from April 3 to April 8, Shen Yun Performing Arts will perform in Calgary, Edmonton, and Regina.
